These past two days have been the most productive days in February. No storms distracting us means we are back into the swing of things. We were lucky enough to present our dioramas before vacation. I didn't think we would be able to finish them but we did and they were AWESOME. Be sure to check out our secure EDLINE site to see pictures. They will be posted (hopefully today) by the end of the week.
This Friday students will be tested on mountain ranges. The ranges they are responsible for were in the homework packets. We will be practicing in class but please practice at home as well. Students will be given a map with no words and a list of ranges. They will use the list to label the map. Our very own Miss Nicole, just came back from a ski trip to the Alps. How exciting.
We have started reading about laws and how they are made. Students brainstormed lists of laws we have that keep us safe and laws that ensure equality.
The subtraction with regrouping is going beautifully. We had to dust off some math cobwebs yesterday but today everyone remembered. Please keep on XTRAMATH! We are more than half way through the school year and by now students should be finished with addition. Math fact fluency will make math for your child a MILLION times easier for the rest of their life and is graded on our report card.
The Wyman School Talent show is this Friday night at 7:00 at the Kennedy Middle School. Believe me you won't want to miss this. It's my favorite night of the year. I'm so proud of each and every student that gets on that stage. This year we have quite a few students from our class performing. I can't wait.
Reminder: Next Thursday is parent teacher conferences. It's not to late to sign up if you are interested. Friday is a half day. Dismissal will be at 12:30.
